GenQ - For the not so straight individual
Film Review: WTC ViewWTC View is a glimpse at everyday life in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. WTC is a very dialogue driven, character driven, piece about living through the days following the day that changed this nation. It begins with the placement of an ad for a roommate. The main character, Eric, needs to find a new roommate before rent is due. It just happens that he places the ad on the 10th of September, 2001. Through the various characters who answer the ad for roommate different perspectives upon the 11th are shown. In these characters it is revealed the raw emotions concerning the tragedies. From characters there as it happened to characters with a sense of loss due to that day the film allows the everyday living to show the humanity behind the tragedies and the great sense of loss felt in those days preceding. It is not about the events of that day, but the ripple effect those hours caused upon a city and a nation. The acting allows for the emotions of those weeks to come through instead of coming off as preachy it allows routine life in not so routine situations to reveal a true humanity. Written by Brian Sloan, based upon his play taken from his actual experience from that September it is a timeline for the weeks following the 11th. Brian Sloan directed using the original cast from the play in a style resembling documentary filmmaking at times. Using one location the film focuses on emotion and reaction to events taking place off screen. WTC View is a well crafted piece of character driven cinema with an introspective quality, which allows the actors to reveal true life through art.
